“You’re asking for death!” Incensed, the King of Kicks finally decided to give it his all. He leaped into the


    air and served multiple flying kicks as hended in Dustin’s direction. This time, he did not only attack


    Dustin point–to–point–he was undiscerning in his moves, offering no escape for his opponent.


    “You punk! Let’s see how you’re going to dodge this!” Heughed maniacally as the number of kicks


    increased and covered a wider scope. Dustin, who was targeted, stood there without fear.


    “It’s clear who’s the winner here.” Maximus shook his head and stood up to leave. He was initially


    surprised by Dustin’s agility, but even that was no match for the King of Kicks. No level of agility could


    save the young man from the indiscriminate attacks by the King of Kicks. In the face of actual talent,


    Dustin’s tricks would be


    of no use.


    All of a sudden, they heard a deafening explosion from the ring. The kicking legs in the air were


    nowhere to be seen. Instead, The King of Kicks stopped his leg right by Dustin’s ear, but it wasn’t an


    attempt to show mercy to Dustin. Unfortunately, his shin was locked in Dustin’s grip, immobilizing him.


    “Did I ever say I’d dodge your attacks?” Dustin grinned as he grabbed the leg of the King of Kicks.


    “Did he block the kick?” Maximus, who was ready to leave, stood still, looking astonished. Not even he


    would think of blocking a full–strength attack from the King of Kicks, but Dustin seemed to have


    grabbed the opponent’s leg with much ease. Maximus wondered what had happened. Was the King of


    Kicks conserving his energy on purpose, or did he underestimate Dustin’s capability?


    “H–how is that possible? How did you block that move?” The old man widened his eyes in utter


    disbelief. knowing he had not held back on the attack. Even though the kick wasn’t his most fatal move,


    it was more than enough to fight against most martial artists in the field. Therefore, he was shocked to


    see Dustin holding his powerful leg with one hand. It was too eerie a scene to make sense of.


    “Is there even anything great about that kick of yours? It’s so weak that even a three–year–old could


    block it,” Dustin remarked, looking unbothered.


    “Nonsense!” The old man was a ball of rage as he leaped into the air and struck again with an earth-


    shattering force.


    “Hey! You used up your three moves! You lost!” Ruth yelled at the old man, but he ignored her reminder


    and capitalized on the force of gravity to strike Dustin on the head. This time, he was confident that


    Dustin wouldn’t be able to fend it off.


    “You never learn, do you?” Dustin snorted and lifted his arm to block the kick without as much as


    moving aside. The collision between the leg and arm resulted in an explosive sound. An invisible st


    wave spread across the space from the core of the collision while strong gusts of winds roared. Dustin


    stood on the ground without moving an inch. He looked poised and unhurt, but multiple cracks had


    formed underneath his feet.


    On the other hand, the old man had ced one leg on Dustin’s arm as he mustered up all his energy in


    an attempt to press his opponent onto the ground. No matter how much force he exerted, Dustin’s arm


    remained motionless, like it was made of metal.


    “Is that all?” Dustin raised a brow, looking disdainful. “Is that all the King of Kicks have to show?”


    “No! This can’t be! How could you possibly block that attack? You aren’t even tanked on The Hundred


    Immortals!” The old man had shock written all across hisce. He was sure that Dustin wasn’t ranked


    because he had fought the top ten in the ranking.


    “The Hundred Immortals?” Dustin chuckled and whispered, “Let me tell you a secret: I made it to The


    Heavenly Immortals ten years ago.”


    “The Heavenly Immortals?” The old man was stunned by the revtion. The Heavenly Immortals were


    levels above The Hundred Immortals, and those ranked on that list were the creme de creme. It


    sounded impossible that a twenty–something like Dustin managed to make it to that list. One must


    know that the martial artists who made it to The Heavenly Immortals were the ones who achieved


    divinity, at the very least!


    “No! Impossible! You must be bluffing!” The old man refused to believe Dustin’s words. It was rare to


    run into martial artists ranked on The Heavenly Immortals, and a ranked martial artist wouldn’t have


    lived in a small town like Swinton, to begin with.


    “Look out for my Phoenix Kick!” The old man put a distance between them, followed by kicking himself


    off the ground andunching himself into the air. Through consecutive kicks that morphed into


    shadows, he initiated a crazed attack on Dustin.


    “All show and no go!” Dustin scoffed at the move and sent a punch into the sole of the old man’s fool.


    Following another explosive sound, the old man was sent flying across the air like a ser ball. With


    another thud, he copsed underneath the ring, bleeding from the orifices on his face and suffering


    from fractures in his legs.


    The crowd went dead silent at the sight of the lifeless King of Kicks on the ground. People were gaping


    with rmed looks. They could not believe that the King of Kicks, from the top ten of The Hundred


    Immortals, had lost a battle in record time and without warning. Some of the spectators had not even


    recovered from the blow.


    More importantly, Dustin seemed to have attacked only once throughout the fight, apart from all the


    defensive


    moves and the dodging. That was the scariest observation of the night. Had the crowd not witnessed it


    with


    their own eyes, they would have scoffed at the idea of the King of Kicks losing to an obscure young


    man.

    “Has the King of Kicks


    lost?” Brody’s mind went nk. He could notprehend the situation and even went as far as to


    suspect the King of Kicks of staging the loss.


    “My lord! Where did that guye from?” Otto swallowed hard as his disrespect for Dustin was


    reced by


    shock and fear, Dustin defeating the King of Kicks was a testament to his capability. At the thought of


    his previous provocations toward Dustin, Otto suddenly felt a prick of fear. Thankfully, Dustin did not


    take the remarks too seriously. Else, Otto might have ended up as dead meat.


    “Im


    —


    impossible!” He’s just a good–for–nothing! Since when has he be a master? Julie was both


    dumbstruck and doubtful. She refused to believe that Dustin was capable of such powerful moves. The


    only


    possible exnation was that the two men in the ring were putting on a show. The King of Kicks must


    have been bribed by Dustin and yed out his part as the loser. Right! That must be it!


    “Haha! He won! We won!” Ruth squealed in excitement and showed off to the others, “See that? That’s


    my brother–inw in the ring! Isn’t he amazing?”


    “Wait, he won? How did he do it? Quentin stared on, eyes widened into saucers.


    “Never have I thought that he was a hidden talent. Since he’s beaten the King of Kicks, I believe he is


    capable of being ranked within the top eight in The Hundred Immortals, Jessica mused. She admitted


    that she had missed the unpolished gem. Dustin Rhys was more remarkable than she had assumed.


    “He’s my man! So impressive!” Natasha’s lips curled into a dazzling smile. Her lovely eyes were filled


    with


    affection. Curiosity grew in her–she started wondering about Dustin’s real identity.
